The newly minted monarch King Charles has shared a heartfelt message to Australians facing ongoing flooding in their communities.
Posted to the official @theroyalfamily Instagram account, Charles spoke on behalf of himself and Queen Consort Camilla, sharing his condolences and offerring his support to those undoubtedly going through a difficult time, especially in the lead up to the festive season.
Not everyone is happy with King Charle’s message of support.

”Our heartfelt thoughts are with all those affected and for the losses that have been suffered.

”Whilst I do realise that this emergency is not over, I do want to pay tribute to the extraordinary efforts of those mebers of the emergency services, Australian Defence Force and the thousands of community volunteers who have been involved in rescue and recovery efforts.
King Charles shared a heartfelt message to the royal family Instagram.

”It has been particuarly inspiring to see how communities have pulled together to protect homes and livestock and to support each other during this appallingly difficult period.
”We send out kindest and special wishes to all Victorians as you continue to demonstrate your remarkable resilience and strength.”
The monarch also made sure to thank emergency personnel who had been deployed to impacted areas.

”NSW is getting smashed too mate. We’ve had a rough trot down here, droughts, bushfires, COVID and now floods which have been going all year. So many people have lost their homes more than once, so many are still displaced,” one commentor wrote.
”Very kind your Majesty, but New South Wales is also coping it really hard,” said another.
”Not sure why Victoria has ben focused on when the floods have affected the whole south east of Australia for months on end,” someone else shared.
It seems that whilst the monarchs message was genuine, his access to updated information is not.
Perhaps hire a new PR team King Charles?
